They are often placed as therapy dogs and with families of those with diverse abilities because of their special temperament\, and socializing with humans is crucial for their development at this age. \nThe Lagotto Romagnolo is a rare\, ancient breed that is hypoallergenic and non-shedding. These dogs have a well known history as Italy’s prized water retrievers\, dating back to at least the 16th century. Their curly coats were well-suited to retrieving waterfowl in the wetlands of Emilia-Romagna. Over the centuries\, Lagotto Romagnolos were gradually refined into the versatile companions they are today. \nDevoted Lagotto Romagnolo breeders like ourselves work to keep the breed thriving. Today\, Lagottos are best known for their extraordinary truffle hunting skills\, aided by their keen sense of smell. However\, they make for delightful family pets too thanks to their cheerful\, affectionate nature. A Lagotto’s non-shedding coat produces little dander\, making them ideal for those with allergies. Their intelligence and eagerness to please means Lagottos thrive with positive reinforcement training. At our Truffle Farm Activity Barn event\, you’ll be charmed by our Lagotto puppies’ temperament and friendliness. \nConclusion\nCome spend time appreciating the connection you’ll find with these friendly puppies as you flow through yoga poses together in our relaxing and immersive setting within the Truffle Farm Activity Barn! \nIt’ll be a unique puppy and truffle infused experience that you don’t want to miss!
